repo groups: make it possible to remove own explicit permissions, now when group owners always have admin permissions

Until recently, group owners very given explicit admin permissions on repo
group, and special care was taken to make sure they didn't remove themselves.

Now we always give admin permissions to owners, and don't care about the
explicit permissions. We no longer add them when creating groups or changing
owner. There is no migration step to remove redundant permissions, but we
should allow group admins to remove them. This change will thus remove the
mechanism for preventing removal of own/owner permissions.

Debugging Kallithea
===================

If you encounter problems with Kallithea, here are some instructions
on how to debug them.

.. note:: First make sure you're using the latest version available.


Enable detailed debug
---------------------

Kallithea uses the standard Python ``logging`` module to log its output.
By default only loggers with ``INFO`` level are displayed. To enable full output
change ``level = DEBUG`` for all logging handlers in the currently used .ini file.
This change will allow you to see much more detailed output in the log file or
console. This generally helps a lot to track issues.


Enable interactive debug mode
-----------------------------

To enable interactive debug mode simply comment out ``set debug = false`` in
the .ini file. This will trigger an interactive debugger each time
there is an error in the browser, or send a http link if an error occurred in the backend. This
is a great tool for fast debugging as you get a handy Python console right
in the web view.

.. warning:: NEVER ENABLE THIS ON PRODUCTION! The interactive console
             can be a serious security threat to your system.
